Clear light golden and subdued amber coloured body with a thinnish, pale white head that fades relatively quickly after starting out at under a centimetre tall in height. Aroma of citrus, grass, lemongrass, light herbs, a dose of funk, and of course, dare I say it, tequilla. Light-bodied; Sharp lemon and grassy citrus flavours dominate with some lemongrass and wheat notes right behind that are very simple and easy-going showing some tequilla and extra infusion of alcohol, but still relatively simple and non-astringent. Aftertaste is soft, all based around the sugars with some pears and apple notes coming around the grass and lemons, but this too is very easy-to-drink and soft throughout. Overall, not as bad as a 'beer' as I was expecting, and even though I saw this on my previous trip to French Polynesia and stayed away, that isn't necessary, as this really isn't so bad of a beer and is decent if not, nice in the sun of the South Pacific Winter. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased a few minutes ago from Champion [supermarche] in [downtown] Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia on 01-August-2019 for XPF290 sampled a few minutes later at my hotel here in Papeete.
